I'm trying to understand why the dragons of FR are Bi-color while the khans they are related are Tri-color.
What's behind the third color in the khans that is absent in the dragon? I know only that it's the enemy color the missing one but beyond that...

One reason that I have seen for why the Khans are tri-coloured, while the dragons were only two colours came from someone on this very forum (sorry can't remember who), and I think it made a lot of sense.
On Tarkir, the different groups all looked up and respected their dragons, which is why the khans share the colours of their dragons. But there was always a war for survival going on between the dragons and the khans. So in order to defeat the dragons and survive, the khans at some point between in the last 1000 (or so) years, they adopted the enemy colour to get an "advantage".
For example, Mardu took their RB from their dragon, but in order to defeat it they adopted W, to make them RWB. Which gave them the edge and allowed them to win.

That's the reason I go with at least.
